The local system won't notice until two phones with the sam ESN & MIN are 
registered with the system at the same time.  Then, as with our system here 
in Huntington, WV - it puts the mobile # in the system negative file.
I suppose you'd be okay only having one on at a time, but that kinda defeats 
the purpose.  Thus why Northern Telecom designed the software that way. Most 
carriers still think they make more revenue off two seperate numbers,  rather 
than one number more minutes.  But the demand is there, so I'm looking for 
our area to go that route within the next six months.
